ORIGINAL: KeriB I admit it's nice knowing people really are there to be supportive I admit that I agree totally, KeriB. I'm glad you had a good day. I admit that I had the most amazing conversation with Thing 2 last night. She is wise beyond her years. We were talking about relationships and under what circumstances people meet and get together as a couple. I admit that she said, "Men who go after a woman who's really sad and depressed and crying, are like lions going after a wounded deer. They look for that weakness and take advantage of it. Only someone who is creepy goes after someone who is vulnerable and hurt." (My jaw was in my lap at this time and then she went on to say the following to me...) "Mom, if a guy can handle and love a woman when she's strong and got her Alpha side showing, then he may be worth a second look. If he's a predator who can only deal with weak, sad women, he's a piece of crap." I admit that I was stunned at her insight and asked how she came to think these things. I admit that she said, "It's not like I have any experience with this stuff, but, I'm a good thinker, and I know I'm right." (true... obviously) I admit that she is amazing and said, "I'll never even take a guy as a new friend if he's just looking to pick up my broken pieces... because he may just be a lion in the tall grass, looking for prey." I admit that I was gobsmacked when she said, "You were at a good place when you met Geoff. I think that means he likes a strong, Alpha woman." (this made me giggle inside my head) I admit that I didn't know whether to applaud her genius or cry at the wonderful young woman she is growing up to be. I admit that I am proud of my daughter and I'm glad that she has learned something by watching her mama make both bad and good decisions. I admit it I wanted to quote this for emphasis. I admit it I have never met anyone who would rescue me when I was in a bad space. I admit it I have only met predators when I've been in that place. I admit it as much as men would like to tell us they are, there are no White Knights. I admit it this is why I question anyone who would want to be with me when I'm not at the top of my game. I admit it I pulled for you, Miss Red, these last few years for you to get out of the bad space & up to the top of your game. I admit it I am so happy for you I could just spit!! I admit it jealousy is an emotion I don't feel very often, so I have trouble understanding why someone wouldn't be happy for another's happiness. I admit it if my being unhappy is what makes you happy, I don't want to have you in my world.
